Top Stories Wednesday, November 23, 2016 For the second time this year Juno has seen its midstage CAR-T Rocket trial put on hold, although this time the biotech has limited its test on its own, after two patients suffered cerebral edema earlier this week, with one dead as of last night and the other “not expected to recover.” Wednesday, November 23, 2016 We know it’s a top priority for Congress, but a group of panelists speaking at an “emergency briefing” in the U.S. Senate this week hosted by an anti-FDA legal co have urged lawmakers to not “rush a closed-door negotiated version of the bill during the lame-duck session.” Wednesday, November 23, 2016 Allergan. M&A of an SME biotech. Millions of dollars involved, biobucks down the line. Seem familiar? Well, the co, still paving an independent path forward after not being subsumed by Pfizer in the spring, is at it again—this time buying out Chase Pharma in a $125 million deal. Wednesday, November 23, 2016 Orchard Therapeutics has secured a $20 million grant to trial its stem cell gene therapy in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency due to adenosine deaminase deficiency (ADA-SCID). The funding will enable Orchard to learn whether its lentiviral approach can offer patients an alternative to GlaxoSmithKline's Strimvelis. Wednesday, November 23, 2016 Galapagos and Gilead have dosed the first patient in a phase 3 Crohn’s disease trial of JAK1 inhibitor filgotinib. The initiation of the study sends the partners barreling toward pivotal data in an indication Gilead sees as a key component of its $2 billion deal with Galapagos. Tuesday, November 22, 2016 Intarcia Therapeutics has filed for FDA approval of its osmotic mini-pump type 2 diabetes treatment. The submission triggered a $100 million payment, giving Intarcia some of the cash it will need to take on Big Pharma in the fiercely competitive diabetes sector should it win approval. | | | Neurotrope has issued a note saying that while it is saddened by Lilly's amyloid Alzheimer's therapy failure, it believes its rival pipeline med bryostatin will still come through its tests.
